+The scores in this booklet were edited from nearly illegible photocopies
+of crudely duplicated manuscripts, themselves made by inexpert copyists
+from unknown originals in the days before photo-copying machines existed.
+Any remaining errors are the responsibility of the editor.
+
+Unfortunately the available sources did not specify who the composers
+and lyrics writers of these anthems are.

+ \section*{Technical notes}
+The score was typeset by the editor using his own \MTx\ typesetting program,
+which in turn relies on the programs \PMX\ by Don Simons, \texttt{musixlyr.tex}
+by Rainer Dunker, MusiX\TeX\ by Daniel
+Taupin \textit{et al.}, \LaTeX\ by Leslie Lamport and \TeX\ by Donald Knuth.
+
+ \section*{The lyrics}
+Here is a literal translation of the words of the first anthem.
+\begin{verse}
+ \begin{center} Crown Him! \end{center}
+Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him! \\
+Around the throne of God on high rejoices a crowd of people,
+a crowd redeemed of sin and guilt. \\
+And crown Him as your Lord. \\
+Bring praise and thanks and glorify his Name and crown Him as your Lord. \\
+The promise of the Second Coming and the Advocacy of the Spirit causes men and
+the Creation to wait hopefully for eternal freedom. \\
+One day corn and chaff will be separated. \\
+He will lead us in freedom. \\
+Throw all your sorrows before Him and crown Him as your Lord. \\
+Let every person, every nation on this earth praise Thee. \\
+Unto Him eternal praise and glory and crown Him as your Lord. \\
+O ye that are chosen, come and assemble before his feet. \\
+Join everyone in eternal song and crown Him as your Lord. \\
+Amen.
+\end{verse}
+
+The second anthem is a translation of Psalm 150. Rather than
+an attempt at rendering that version into English, here are the
+relevant verses from the Authorised Version (King James Bible).
+\begin{verse}
+ Praise ye the \textsc{Lord}. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise
+him in the firmament of his power. \\
+ Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent
+greatness. \\
+ Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery
+and harp. \\
+ Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise hom with stringed instruments
+and organs. \\
+ Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding
+cymbals. \\
+ Let every thing that hath breath praise the \textsc{Lord}.
+ Praise ye the \textsc{Lord}.
+\end{verse}
